Last night's joy seems to be right in front of you,
Early in the morning, Xiangling woke up screaming,
On the first day of the new year, everything is new. As a bride, she cannot be lazy.
So, not long after dawn, the entire Wanmin Hall had been cleaned.
Well, except for the sleepy Wang Daoyi and Guo Ba.
Guo Ba was very happy last night and played until very late before going to bed, so now he has no energy at all.
As for Wang Daoyi, he also played very late last night. The atmosphere of the Hai Lantern Festival made him let go of his godly side.
As an ordinary person, I had a good sleep.
As a result, I was pulled up early in the morning to clean the house.
"Oh, you two, you two have no energy at all." Xiang Ling rolled her eyes.
Guo Ba was holding a rag in his hand and was already slumped under the table. If it hadn't snored so loudly, others would have thought it was wiping the bottom of the table.
Wang Daoyi held a broom in his hand, leaning on it, his head nodding from time to time, and he could tell that he was dozing off.
Hearing Xiang Ling's voice, Wang Daoyi opened his sleepy eyes: "Have you eaten?"
"Hey? (Did I hear eating?)" Guo Ba got out from under the table.
Xiangling looked at these two guys angrily, feeling that her worries were in vain. These two guys didn't care about the ritual of the first day of the new year at all.
Picking up a rolling pin, Xiang Ling approached the confused Wang Daoyi and Guo Ba.
…
Ten minutes later, Wang Daoyi and Guo Ba, who had been beaten, were sitting at the gate of Wanmin Hall, holding a big bowl with longevity noodles on the first day of the new year.
"You get something delicious after a beating. Ordinary people don't have this opportunity, right? Guo Ba."
Wang Dao spoke plausibly while sucking the noodles.
Guo Ba held his big wrist and glanced at Wang Daoyi with disdain: "Lu Lie, Lu Lie~! (You are so useless, that's why we were beaten!)"
"Humph, you don't understand at all." Wang Daoyi didn't care about Guo Ba's ridicule at all, with a smile on his face.
In the backyard of Wanmin Hall, in Xiangling’s boudoir,
Feeling the waves of touches coming from her sensitive parts, Xiangling's face turned red and she cursed: "What a bad guy."
He rubbed it gently and then started to pack up the clothes again.
With the new year and new atmosphere, it’s natural to wear new clothes.
Moreover, I am going to Hall Master Hu's banquet tonight, so it would not be rude to wear new clothes.
Just as he was packing up, Wang Daoyi's voice came from the door again: "Xiang Ling, I took Guoba out to play."
Xiangling's silver teeth bite lightly, this dead man is not helpful at all at home.
However, although he wanted to curse, the last thing he said was: "Okay, remember the dinner, don't play too late."
door,
Wang Daoyi hugged Guo Ba and walked out of the door after hearing Xiang Ling's agreement.
"Let's go, Xiaoshi is still here, let's go shopping first."
…
Time passed little by little, night gradually fell, and the agreed time arrived.
"Quick, quick, quick, brother Dao Yi, wear this clothes, don't keep Hall Master Hu waiting."
Xiang Ling pulled at Wang Daoyi's white and gold-trimmed clothes while trying to get him to change into the new clothes she held in her other hand.
In fact, Wang Daoyi's white-bottomed gold-trimmed clothes are generally not dirty, mainly because he took the rice dumplings to visit Xiaoshi today and got several paw prints from the bear.
Of course, even if they were not dirty, Xiang Ling would let him change his clothes. He should wear new clothes in the New Year.
"Don't worry, it won't be too late." Wang Daoyi said while taking off his clothes.
Xiang Ling glared at him with beautiful eyes, and then ignored him.
Looking at Guo Ba next to him: "Guo Ba, Wanmin Hall is going to reopen next. You stay to help dad, do you understand?"
After playing Guoba all day, he didn’t want to go out with him at all. He nodded immediately: "Lu Li Lu Li~ (I understand.)"
Soon, Wang Daoyi changed his clothes,
It is still the familiar white background with gold rim, but there are many more cloud patterns on the white background, making it look more exquisite.
"Oh, that's great. Brother Dao Yi is so good-looking." Xiang Ling walked around Wang Dao Yi and then praised him.
"Then thank you." Wang Daoyi thanked exaggeratedly, which made Xiang Ling roll his eyes and hit his chest with small fists one after another.
After laughing a bit, he said seriously: "Let's go, it's time to go to New Moon Pavilion."
Xiangling also brought up a gift box, and Wang Daoyi sniffed it with the tip of his nose. It smelled like almond tofu.
…
New Moon Pavilion at this time,
As a guest of the Palace of Purity and the companion of this banquet, Mr. Zhongli has arrived early.
Except for Mr. Zhongli, Xingqiu and Chongyun probably didn't leave Feiyun Slope. They were close and had already arrived.
When Wang Daoyi and Xiang Ling arrived, Mr. Zhongli was chatting with Chongyun about the ancient alchemist's story of slaying demons.
Mr. Zhongli is knowledgeable and well-informed, even the secret stories passed down by the alchemist family, he knows them all very well, and Chongyun's eyes sparkle when he hears them.
Not only Chongyun, Xingqiuhe was also very interested,
These mysterious stories can be regarded as a kind of alternative material.
The door to the private room was pushed open, and Wang Daoyi and Xiang Ling walked in.
"Hey, you guys came quite early." Wang Dao waved his hand and said hello, and then said to Xiang Ling, "I told you, you won't be late."
"Oh, you two are here not too late, please take a seat." Zhongli raised his hand and guided the two of them to sit down at the seats of the deputy guest of honor and the four companions.
After sitting down,
Wang Daoyi looked at Zhongli: "Has Hall Master Hu not come yet?"
Normally, when inviting guests to dinner, the protagonist should arrive first.
Zhongli nodded: "Hallmaster Hu said he was going to invite an important guest, so he would be late."
"Important guest?" Wang Dao had a strange look in his eyes. In the territory of Liyue, there are probably only two kinds of people who can be called important by Hall Master Hu in terms of status.
One is seven stars,
The other is the Immortal.
Seven Stars is unlikely, that means Hall Master Hu went to invite the Immortal.
With a strange look, Wang Dao glanced at Zhongli and saw that he looked normal, as if he didn't know anything.
Zhong Li ignored Wang Daoyi's gaze and instead started talking to Xiang Ling, or it could be said that Xiang Ling's question attracted him.
Zhongli: "For those dishes, you can replace the sugar cubes with sweet nectar. This will not only retain the sweetness in the dishes, but also bring a hint of nectar fragrance, which can eliminate the fishy smell of deep-sea fish."
Xiangling nodded repeatedly: "Oh, oh, that's it! Thank you Mr. Zhongli for your suggestion, I'll take note of it."
Next to him, Xingqiu also looked admiring: "I have long heard that Mr. Zhongli is knowledgeable about the past and present, but I didn't expect that he is also proficient in the art of cooking. It is an honor for the descendants like me to get to know Mr. Zhongli."
"Where. You are all young talents, each with your own strengths. I also have things I am ashamed of, and I should learn from each other." Zhong Li said modestly, then shook his head slightly: "I don't like seafood, but I have old friends who want to learn from each other." You just developed this method by letting me eat it, it is not my original creation.”
The only people who could make Zhongli eat things he didn't like were Marcusius or Hargentus.
One is the Kitchen God, so he naturally doesn’t like his friends being picky eaters, and the other is the God of Dust, who is weird and weird, so it’s not surprising that he would do such a thing.
"First of all, sir, that's a ridiculous compliment!" Zhong Young Talent Yun blushed: "Um... if there is a chance, could you please Mr. Zhongli to give me some advice on exorcism techniques..."
Chongyun naturally saw that Mr. Zhongli, who had just been chatting for a long time about the secrets of alchemy, was also first-rate in alchemy.
"Do alchemists exorcise evil spirits? In this regard, I can only say that I have a little experience. If you don't mind, let's slowly..." Zhongli was talking when there was another movement at the door.
It's Ying and Paimon who are here.
"Wow - so many people have arrived first!" Pamon said with a happy face, waving his little hand, "Good evening everyone."
"Good evening, please." Zhongli extended his hand and said,
Ying and Paimon sat down at the escort's seat.
"What were you talking about just now?" Ying looked at everyone curiously.
Xiangling looked excited: "Didn't you say that the sea fish dish last night still had a fishy smell? I was asking Mr. Zhongli for advice just now."
Paimeng's eyes lit up, and she was interested in everything she ate: "Then, what, then, is it solved?"
Xiangling nodded: "Mr. Zhongli has given suggestions to solve the fishy smell problem."
Paimon cheered: "Okay, Xiangling's food is the best."
fluorescent:……
Zhong Li smiled slightly: "Chef Xiangling is very eccentric. The selection of ingredients and the way of seasoning are like musical notes, jumping on the taste buds. It is truly unique, and my suggestions are just the icing on the cake."
Zhongli was as humble as ever, so humble that it made people uncomfortable.
Paimon tilted his head: "Oh oh oh, as expected of you."
Zhongli used too many adjectives, and Paimon was a little confused.
Xiang Ling held Wang Daoyi's hand and lowered her head shyly: "Hey... I'm embarrassed to say it... Wait until I adjust the recipe according to Mr. Zhongli's method, and then I'll treat you to taste it!"
Chongyun nodded: "With Mr. Zhongli's advice, it's quite reliable."
Xingqiu glanced at Chongyun: "How about next time, I'll try the dishes."
When I usually try out dishes, Xingqiu always recommends them to Chongyun.
On the other side, Paimon shook his head and looked around, feeling that something was missing.
"Speaking of the issue of eating... I just felt that something was missing..." Paimon looked confused, "Where is the walnut that invited us, and the rice cake is not there either!"
Wang Daoyi smiled: "Wanmin Hall will reopen in the next year, so Guo Ba volunteered to stay at home to help dad."
"As for Hutao, Mr. Zhongli just said that he was going to pick up an important guest."
Zhong Li nodded: "That's what the hall master said, but looking at the time, it should be almost there."
"Hey, do you need Hu Tao to call him in person? He must be a very powerful person!" Paimon thought for a moment, "Could it be... Ke Qing? Ning Guang?... Or Captain Beidou?"
Zhong Li shook his head slightly: "Well, the hall master didn't take the initiative to explain it. As a subordinate, naturally I can't ask in detail..."
As soon as Wang Dao heard this, he looked at Zhongli again, his expression was still calm, as if he really didn't know who the mysterious guest was.
Suddenly, the door of the restaurant burst open, as if it had been hit by a hurricane...
Everyone was startled and looked at the door.
"Dang-dang-dang! Let's—come!" Hall Master Hu walked in, and then appeared next to each guest like a ghost, "Aren't you late? Are you not late?"
However, it was no longer Hu Tao that caught Wang Dao's gaze.
Instead, two figures, one large and one small, entered the door after Hu Tao.
It's Mandrill, and there's an unknown child,
Wang Daoyi looked strange. Although he didn't recognize the child's appearance, his aura was unmistakable. It was Feng Ying.
"Well, thanks to the great sage coming and going like the wind like me, the time is just right." Hutao was still talking.
Paimon: "!"
elf:"!"
fluorescent:"!"
Zhongli: "...It turns out that the distinguished guest is actually the Great Sage of Conquering Demons. I have admired him for a long time."
Wang Daoyi's expression was tense, and his heart was: Hahahahahahahahaha.
Zhong Li was still talking: "The hall master didn't explain anything when we met for a small gathering. I didn't expect that the visitors would not only include young heroes, but also the Immortal Jinpeng who maintains peace in all directions in Liyue. It's really a honor to be able to gather with everyone. "
Wang Daoyi said in his heart: Hahahahahahahahahaha.
Xiangling was a little surprised: "Brother Dao Yi, what's wrong with you?"
Sitting next to Wang Daoyi, Xiang Ling noticed Wang Daoyi's shaking.
"No, it's nothing. I remembered something happy."
"What happy thing?"
"My wife is going to give birth to my baby."
Xiangling was so embarrassed that she stretched out her hand and pinched Wang Dao's waist, then stopped asking any more questions.
the other side,
Faced with Zhongli's "glory face", Mandrill was stunned.
The little Feng Ying beside him still remembered Zhong Li, but he couldn't say his identity. However, he raised his head and took a look in the private room, and soon found the person he wanted to see.
The little guy ran to Wang Daoyi's side and hugged his leg: "Father God."
Under Xiang Ling's strange eyes, Wang Daoyi picked up the little guy and said, "Have you completely become your master now?"
The little guy nodded: "Yes, yes, Emperor... the immortals have testified, and I will be Master Mandrill's disciple from now on."
"That's good. Have I given you a name?" Wang Daoyi rubbed the little guy's hair. The child's transformation was based on Mandrill and Wang Daoyi. His hair was thick and felt very good.
The little guy shook his head: "Master said that Father God should come and pick it up."
"That's it, that's fine. The eagle fights in the sky. From now on, you can be called Cang."
"Okay, okay, I have a name, hey hey, I have a name." No, Cang said with joy on his face.
On the side, Xiang Ling still couldn't hold it back. After all, Cang did look a bit like Wang Daoyi: "Brother Daoyi, what is this?"
"Haha, do you still remember Feng Ying from before? This kid is it." Wang Daoyi introduced.
Wang Daoyi had a wind eagle and later handed it over to the Great Sage of Conquering Demons. Xiang Ling knew about this.
"Feng Ying?" Xiang Ling looked at Cang Keai's face, "Then isn't he an immortal now?"
In Liyue's story, rare and exotic beasts transform into human forms, becoming immortals.
"I'm not an immortal, but I'm still qualified." Wang Daoyi said with a smile.
He was also very happy that the life he created could reach this point.
Here Wang Daoyi and Xiang Ling are teasing the little guy Cang,
the other side,
Faced with Zhongli's compliment, Mandrill looked stiff and said, "Zhong...Mr. Keqing has said more."
Mandrill finally failed to call out the word Zhongli.
Hall Master Hu put his hands on his hips and said, "Oh, this guy is doing it again. He doesn't want to ask the guests to sit down, but he says so many polite words first."
The fiery Hall Master Hu despised Zhongli's polite attitude all the time.
It's not that he dislikes it, it's just that Zhongli's polite manner gives Hall Master Hu a headache.
He probably looks mindless and unhappy, no, he should be weird and old-fashioned.
Hall Master Hu looked at everyone and said, "Everyone is not polite. All of you here are well-known big shots. You have heard of each other more or less, and many of you are acquaintances. Don't be so particular."
Then he looked at Ying: "I heard that the Great Sage is very familiar with Ying, right?"
Ying suppressed a smile and looked at Mandrill and Zhongli, "We are old friends."
After finishing speaking, she glanced at Wang Daoyi again and found that the smile on Wang Daoyi's face was stronger than hers.
Ying knew that Wang Daoyi must be laughing too, and the reason for his laughter was exactly the same as hers.
"Haha, that's good. You two can sit together." Hall Master Hu arranged the seats.
Mandrill glanced at Zhongli and saw that he had no expression on his face, so he could only walk to sit next to Ying.
Zhong Li stretched out his hand towards Hall Master Hu: "Hall Master, please come too."
Hutao crossed his arms and said, "Oh, did you remember to greet me?"
Then he continued: "By coincidence, when I first arrived, the waiter at Xinyue Xuan said that the dishes I ordered before were already coming out of the pot."
Walking to the main seat without hesitation, Hutao waved his hand: "Without further ado, let them serve the food."
I greeted the waiter waiting outside the door.
Soon, delicacies were served one after another, and the aroma was overflowing. Everyone carefully cut their chopsticks to eat and chatted quietly...
The little guy Cang did not sit back next to Mandrill, but stayed next to Wang Daoyi and Xiang Ling.
Xiangling was also happy and would pick up vegetables for the little guy from time to time, probably because her motherly nature was revived.
Paimon floated between Ying and Mandrill, with a hint of disbelief on his face: "I really didn't expect that the guest Hutao went to pick up was actually Mandrill..."
Chongyun also nodded: "This is also the first time I know that the Great Sage of Conquering Demons and Ying are good friends."
The previous times Chongyun saw Mandrill were all related to Wang Daoyi.
As for the relationship between Mandrill and Ying, Chongyun only knew that they knew each other, but the relationship between friends was really unclear.
Paimon tilted his head: "Are Chongyun and Mandrill also good friends?"
Chongyun quickly shook his head: "No, no, I don't dare. The Great Sage is a senior, and even the elders in the family must respect him. I just visited the Great Sage with my aunt before venturing into the desert." (494) chapter)
Under the influence of Wang Daoyi and Ying, Shen He was pretty good to his nephew.
When Chongyun wanted to go on an adventure in the desert, Shen He took him to get a talisman.
This talisman played a big role in dealing with wind-eroded sandworms during the adventure.
After a pause, Chongyun continued: "Moreover, our alchemist sect has some connections with the Great Sage of Conquering Demons. We have a long history of exorcising demons and exorcising them together, one in the light and the other in the dark."
Mandrill nodded to Zhongyun: "You're welcome."
Xingqiu also spoke with a hint of a bad smile: "I am honored to have the chance to meet the legendary Great Sage of Conquering Demons. I heard Chongyun mention it before. I remember you said that the Great Sage of Conquering Demons must know how to exorcise evil spirits. The importance of alchemists…”
"Ahem, cough, cough." Chongyun coughed repeatedly, and then said with some embarrassment, "Those are the arrogant words of a young and ignorant person."
Mandrill was not angry, he said softly: "The alchemist does not have immortal power, but he can still stick to his heart, eliminate demons and defend the Tao, which is good."
Yes, this word is used here, which is already a pretty high evaluation.
Beside him, Xiang Ling also smiled: "Speaking of which, Mandrill Shangxian helped me taste the dishes back then."
At the Zhuyue Festival, Ying called Mandrill and helped Xiangling try the dishes.
Wang Daoyi thought it was funny and acted respectfully: "The Great Sage also sent gifts to Xiang Ling and I at our wedding, and I haven't thanked them yet."
Mandrill did not sit down to eat at the wedding, but simply took a look, gave the gift, and left.
He still wasn't used to the atmosphere of the crowd.
"It turns out that we are all so destined. It is better to see once than to hear a hundred times. I am Xingqiu, a friend of Daoyi, Xiangling and Chongyun. You are so polite."
Xingqiu bowed to Mandrill.
"Everyone was suddenly respectful, and I didn't know how to interrupt..." Beside Mandrill, Paimon scratched his head and looked at Mandrill with a troubled expression:
"Uh, Lord Mandrill...the Demon-Conquering Immortal...the Great Sage! Paimon also salutes you and wishes you a happy Lantern Festival!"
"Pfft." Wang Daoyi laughed, "Paimon, I wish you well...that's not right."
Paimeng stamped his feet anxiously and looked at Wang Daoyi angrily: "I have tried very hard to sort out my words, please don't find fault with me!"
Mandrill glanced at Zhongli and saw that he didn't speak, so he said softly: "Everyone... there is no need to be polite."
"Pfft~" Hutao, who was sitting in the main seat, suddenly laughed, attracting everyone's attention.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Hu Tao waved his hand: "The Great Sage is right, acquaintances are meant to eat together, so if you guys go back and forth like this, it will make people nervous."
"Making you so cautious is not the original intention of this hall master to invite everyone to dinner."
The awkward atmosphere eased slightly, and Paimon looked at Hu Tao: "Then what was Hu Tao's original purpose...?"
Hutao raised his head with a great look on his face: "Invite relatives and friends to a small gathering, drink cups of fine tea together, and enjoy the lanterns on the sky. This is to bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new."
Then his expression changed, and the eccentric Hall Master Hu reappeared: "The above is what the guest would say. I suggest everyone applaud."
Wang Daoyi didn't hesitate, stretched out his hands and clapped his hands.
Anyway, he just enjoys watching the fun and doesn't think it's a big deal.
Zhong Li glanced at Wang Daoyi, who was applauding, and then nodded to Hu Tao: "Indeed, the hall master learned really well."
Hutao stretched out his hand and pressed it down, signaling Wang Daoyi and Xiao Fengying to stop applauding: "As for me, I just want to make it fun and treat everyone to some delicious food."
As he said that, he looked at Ying and Paimon: "Everyone has been working hard to live this year, whether traveling or being a guide-"
Then he looked at Xiangling, Chongyun, and Xingqiu: "Whether it's cooking, doing business, exorcising evil spirits, or conquering demons——"
Finally, he looked at Wang Daoyi and Zhong Li: "Ke Qing, who helps with the work in the hall from time to time, ah, and Daoyi, who I haven't seen a few times in a year."
"Everyone is amazing." Hu Tao said in a very high-pitched voice, "And the leader who can bring everyone together is the most amazing person!"
Beside Ying, Paimeng frowned, but nodded: "Well, although it sounds a bit arrogant, it is indeed a great thing to be able to call Mandrill who rarely enters Liyue Port..."
Ying also showed an appropriately interested expression: "I'm also curious about the process."
Not only Ying, but Wang Daoyi was also curious.
You know, Wang Daoyi invited Mandrill more than once, but even during the wedding, Mandrill just gave gifts and left, but did not sit down to eat.
Mandrill shook his head: "It's not that complicated."
Hutao looked proud and began to talk about how he invited Mandrill over.
She first found the proprietress...the boss of Wangshu Inn.
It was confirmed that Mandrill was on the roof of Wangshu Inn.
Then he went to the top of the building and shouted: "The Immortal Mandrill~The Great Sage of Conquering Demons~The Patron Saint of Wangshu Inn~The Great Hero of Dihuazhou~"
Then he abruptly called out Mandrill, who was unwilling to meet the guests.
Then he used his social phobia (social phobia) attribute to forcefully convince Mandrill, a social phobia (social phobia certificate).
After listening to Hall Master Hu’s speech,
Wang Daoyi laughed dumbly: "Hahahaha, this is something Hall Master Hu would do."
He and Ying invited Mandrill many times, and they were all normal invitations. Mandrill refused, so they stopped inviting more.
And Hu Tao's invitation is true... it belongs to Mandrill if he restrains it. Even if Mandrill refuses, Hu Tao will keep grinding until he agrees.
Chongyun looked strange: "So...the Great Sage of Conquering Demons only agreed to prevent Hu Tao from causing trouble..."
He seemed to have found a good way to invite the Great Sage of Conquering Demons as his guest.
Beside him, Zhongli shook his head slightly: "I think there should be other origins."
"Hoho, you're smart," Hu Tao laughed playfully, "But it's actually the boring part. I just mentioned some past events about the Hall of Rebirth and the Yakshas of Immortals, just to get close to each other."
Zhongli responded at the right moment and said, "It is said that during the Demon God War, there were many disputes and disasters, and humans could not escape the torment of disease and death.
The immortals subdued demons and monsters, the Qianyan Army fought hard, and the Rebirth Hall was responsible for eradicating diseases and returning the souls of the dead.
In this way, we were able to determine the boundaries between life and death during the war and avoid more troubles. "
Wang Daoyi was slightly silent. The operation of the Hall of Rebirth not only allowed life and death to move, but also related to the plan of death.
However, he would naturally not say it here.
At the main seat, Hutao applauded: "That's right, that's it, you get one point!"
Then he started to praise himself: "But even with such an old partnership, this hall master still spent a lot of words to persuade the Great Sage to come."
Ying looked at Mandrill: "Is it because I'm worried about my karma..."
Before Mandrill could answer, Hutao nodded: "Oh, you still understand him."
"This matter cannot be avoided, I should give it more thought." Mandrill said softly.
Hu Tao looked complacent: "Indeed, but I thought of it earlier! So I only invited friends who are destined to the elemental power. The effort of eating will not have any impact."
On the other side, Wang Daoyi hugged Cang and said: "It's much better now, and it will be better in the future."
Hearing this, Mandrill turned around and looked at the little guy in Wang Daoyi's arms, his eyes slightly warmed: "Yes."
With Feng Ying who has successfully transformed, he will become more and more relaxed in the future.
This conversation between Wang Daoyi and Mandrill attracted everyone's attention.
Paimeng looked at the little guy in Wang Daoyi's arms, and then at Wang Daoyi: "I noticed it just now. This child... didn't you just get married? Is the child so big?"
Her tone was a little frightened. It was obvious that she was a little frightened by the fact that she had just gotten married and had such a big child.
"What? It's not." Xiangling was confused.
Mandrill quickly said: "This is my disciple, you call him..."
"Cang." Wang Dao said.
This was the name I had just given, and Mandrill naturally didn’t know it either.
"Cang, isn't it really Dao Yi's child? It seems like it." Paimeng whispered.
Wang Daoyi rolled his eyes: "No matter how you look at it, Cang looks more like Mandrill."
"Then Mandrill's child!" Paimon felt that he had found the truth.
elf:……
"Hahahaha, you should know Cang." Wang Daoyi laughed wildly.
Ying and Paimon thought for a while: "Do we know each other?"
Mandrill can't stand it anymore. If this continues, Cang will really become his child.
"Feng Ying, Cang is the incarnation of Feng Ying, so Paimon, you are right, Dao Yi is indeed Cang's father."
Who says the Great Sage of Conquering Demons doesn’t have bad intentions!
Here, several people were chatting about Cang’s origins.
the other side,
Chongyun looked at Xingqiu angrily: "Did you put the carrot into my bowl?"
Xingqiu: "Hey, is there one?"
Xiangling: "Yes, I saw it. Fortunately, Guoba is not here today, otherwise it might force you to eat it. It is the most picky eater in the world."
Xingqiu was shocked: "Is Guo Ba actually such a stubborn character?"
"However, I seem to have heard that Guo Ba is the devil of stoves."
Zhongli smiled and said, "So it was a folk legend I heard."
Zhongli didn't want the news that Guo Ba was the devil to be confirmed.
It's okay if everyone here knows about it. It would be terrible if ordinary people knew about it.
Chatting here,
"Mandrill, aren't you used to being around so many people?" Ying looked at Mandrill next to her, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Mandrill said too little tonight.
"The situation is not bad." Mandrill shook his head, "With Cang here, plus the fact that I met an old friend and helped, it's already a lot better."
Ying nodded: "That's good. If you have something you're not used to eating, you can give it to Paimon."
Paimon: "Huh?"
Suddenly, there was a sudden sound of wind.
【The wind brings the seeds of stories~】
A clear voice came from outside the door,
Paimon waved his finger: "Time will make it sprout."
Then he was stunned: "Ah! I accidentally picked up the call!"
"However, this familiar voice..."
Ying nodded and guessed the identity of the visitor.
Wang Daoyi smiled and shook Xiang Ling's little hand, then shook his head slightly at her.
Xiang Ling and Wang Daoyi had a heart-to-heart connection, and understood what Wang Daoyi meant, which was to tell her not to say anything more.
Zhongli:……
He was a little tired.
Hu Tao didn't feel anything at all: "Hello? I heard you right, the leader of the hall. Is there someone outside the door?"
Then he looked at Zhongli and said, "My dear guest, don't be stunned. Open the door for me quickly!"
Wang Daoyi's heart: Hahahahahahaha
Before Zhongli could get up, the door was blown open by the strong wind: "Don't bother me, I'll bother you! Hey, you finally invited me in!"
Wendy reached out and applauded: "Hey, no matter whether we have met elsewhere before, now it is a brand new encounter! Happy holidays to all my old and new friends."
In this private room,
Zhongli and Mandrill naturally knew Wendy and knew his identity.
The same goes for Ying and Paimon. They know Wendy and their identity.
Wang Daoyi and Xiang Ling also knew Wendy and her identity.
Chongyun and Xingqiu also went to Mondstadt with Wang Daoyi, met Wendy, and knew his identity as a bard.
Theoretically, Hu Tao is the only one in this private room who doesn't know Wendy.
"Oh oh oh, I'm a singer." Paimeng stamped his feet in the void to express his welcome.
Wang Daoyi and Xiang Ling looked at each other and said nothing.
elf:! ?
For today's meal, he originally wanted to bring Cang Lai to meet Wang Daoyi.
I just didn’t expect that even if the emperor was here at first, why would the god of wind come too?
Is the Palace of Rebirth so prestigious?
Hutao looked at Wendy, stood up and said, "Oh my! This guy is so cool, he looks like he is my future friend."
Then he waved his hands grandly: "The visitor is a guest, and the meeting is fate. It's all unspoken. Sit down! Take as many dishes as you like, and I'll ask them to add some tableware for you."
Wendy was not polite and walked to the seat next to Zhongli and said, "Well, look at this lady's expression, she is as bright as a flower and as bright as the morning sun. At first glance, she is the person with the most say here!"
Then he sat down and looked at the table: "There are so many good things, can you really treat me to eat? Hehe, I'm welcome then."
Xingqiu also recognized Wendy: "Ah, it's Your Excellency Wendy."
He met Wendy several times, when he was in Mondstadt with Wang Daoyi and Xiang Ling, and during the Rongcai Festival.
Wendy also looked at Xingqiu: "Hey! This is not Teacher Zhenyu..."
Hu Tao's expression changed: "Hmm? Teacher "Zhenyu"?"
Ying and Paimon's eyes widened, as if Xingqiu's pen name was about to be revealed in the next moment.
Wang Dao's eyes flashed, today's banquet is really interesting.
Wendy continued: "...Well, if I look carefully, I turn out to be a fan of Teacher Zhenyu's books! I met Xingqiu at a young book club before. I really regret meeting him so late."
As he said that, he winked at Xingqiu: "There is only one other person besides me who can analyze Teacher Zhenyu's new work so thoroughly!"
Hearing this, Wang Daoyi was a little disappointed. He thought he could see Xingqiu She die.
Xingqiu breathed a long sigh of relief, and then nodded to Wendy: "Teacher Wendy is so humble. When it comes to poetry and literary talent, you have a deeper foundation."
Beside Wendy, Zhongli looked at him: "Ahem... So this is an acquaintance of Master Xingqiu?"
Zhongli and Wendy looked at each other, as if they were going to take action at the next moment.
Ying quickly said: "He is also my old buddy."
Wendy and Zhongli looked away and looked at Mandrill and Wang Daoyi: "Yes! Mandrill should also recognize me. We just chatted a while ago. And Daoyi, I also attended your wedding."
Mandrill: ".Yes, yes."
Wang Daoyi cupped his hand and said, "You didn't drink too much at the wedding."
Wendy scratched her head and looked at Zhongli again, and continued angrily: "It was obviously Mr. Zhongli who received me at the wedding, but now he pretends not to know me."
Zhongli's expression remained unchanged: "I was busy that day, so I couldn't ask for advice. I am Zhongli, and I am currently working in Shengsheng Hall. I am very happy to meet you, my new friend."
Wang Daoyi held Xiang Ling's little hand tightly and was already laughing wildly in his heart. It was so fun, so interesting, and so funny.
Wang Daoyi felt that he had no shortage of jokes this month.
The same goes for Xiang Ling. She knows Wendy's identity, but not Zhongli's. However, she remembers that on the wedding day, the two of them were sitting at the same table.
It's really interesting to get to know each other again today.
At the host's seat, Hu Tao also nodded: "Yeah, his boss is me. If you have any dissatisfaction with Ke Qing's work, you can tell me!"
Zhong Li nodded to Hu Tao: "Master, thank you for your trouble."
Wendy also looked at Hu Tao with an expression of admiration: "Oh? Hmm, no wonder. Only such a smart and reliable boss can recruit subordinates who look very powerful!"
"Hehe, Wendy is really good at talking!" Hutao smiled. Hutao was never polite when complimenting herself.
However, she did not forget her very powerful subordinates,
"My guest is really powerful. He knows astronomy from above and geography from below. He knows everything from ancient times to the present."
Then he walked up to Zhongli and said, "Sometimes when I look at the mature way he talks, I even suspect that he is one of the immortals who is paying a private visit in disguise!"
Mandrill lowered his head, the brave and fearless Demon-Conquering Great Sage wanted to avoid this topic.
But when he sensed that there was someone suddenly around him, he looked up and saw that it was indeed Hu Tao walking to his side.
Hutao looked forward to it: "Hey! Great Sage, you are an immortal, so tell me, is this possible?"
Mandrill pupil earthquake.
Wang Daoyi's expression was distorted, and he felt that he could hardly hold back his laughter.
Mandrill glanced at Zhongli again, and then turned his head away: "I...I'm sorry, I'm only good at conquering demons, I have little knowledge and have never heard of..."
Paimon looked innocent: "Hey, is that so? But Mandrill, I think you are very educated and know a lot..."
The bright-eyed man raised his eyebrows, and then tugged at the corner of Paimon's clothes.
"Ah?" Paimon then reacted, "Ah, oh, yes... Mandrill, Mandrill is a warrior, and he doesn't usually go into the city. It's normal to not understand this..."
Wendy said with a happy expression: "Eh...is that so? I have heard of Mr. Zhongli's name."
Zhong Li looked at Wendy, his golden eyes showing no joy or sorrow.
"I heard from the guests in the tavern that there was a polite young man who came to the best tavern in Mondstadt but didn't drink. He just ordered a cup of hot tea with an awkward name."
Wendy said with a smile.
Zhongli crossed his arms, closed his eyes slightly and then opened them again, looking at Wendy: "... Having said that, I also remembered it. Mond seems to have such a number one artist. Rumor has it that he is elegant and easy-going, and his works are lively and vivid. , even being known as the best bard in Mondstadt is not an exaggeration.”
Wendy showed a hint of shyness appropriately: "Oh, I'm embarrassed to say it. In fact, Mond's poetry as a whole is just like that, and his creative level is limited."
…
The atmosphere there gradually eased,
Only Wang Daoyi showed a disappointed look.
I thought Wendy would expose Zhongli and have some fun.
Unexpectedly, the two people actually reached a cooperation just by looking at each other.
It became mutual boasting.
Without fun to watch, Wang Daoyi became a little bored.
I was no longer interested in the subsequent exchange of poems and poems, and just picked up vegetables for Cang from time to time.
Wendy: [The old house is renewed, welcoming the spring breeze and blowing away old memories. 】
Hutao: [There is an old melon on the vine, but it is blooming on the top. 】
The two of them were sympathetic to each other.
Zhongli:……
elf:……
Xiangling looked at Wang Daoyi with a confused look on her face: "Brother Daoyi, let me tell you, can you give me a few books to read when you get back? I remember you have a lot of books."
Wang Daoyi: "What's wrong?"
Xiangling lowered her voice: "I wonder if my literary level is not up to standard, and I can't tell the difference between good and bad..."
Chongyun added: "This...I don't think it's your problem."
Xingqiu also nodded: "Chongyun is right, this is not our problem."
the other side,
Ying looked at Paimon and said, "Paimon, study hard and you will be able to use your nicknames in the future."
Paimon nodded: "That makes sense!"
Everyone chatted about poetry for a while,
Then Paimon reacted and looked at Wendy: "Speaking of which, why are the singers here? Are they also here to participate in the Sea Lantern Festival?"
Wen Di nodded: "I heard that Liyue is going to do the sea light music festival this year. As a poetic creator, how can I bear the temptation and not come to see it?"
Pai Meng held his chest with both hands, and looked at it very well: "Art is to collide with each other in order to produce inspiration sparks."
Ying was slightly moving, and the festival was temporarily prepared.
She soon remembered what Davack said before and was guided by Monde.
Sure enough, if she didn't wait for her to ask, I heard Wen Di said, "Speaking of the Feng Dan friend who sponsored the event, I met him near Shimen. [Rainbow Tour] finally held it successfully once, but congratulated him to congratulate him. ah."
Ying has already understood everything, that is, Wendy is a pusher in the back: "Thank you, he must be grateful."
"We don't have to be so polite between us." Wen Di nodded at Ying, and then looked at everyone. "Speaking of which I saw you entering Xinyuexuan, but no one found me on the side."
Wang Dao was slightly frustrated, maybe he was talking to Xiang Ling along the way, or it may be that Wendy hid too well. He really didn't see Wendy.
However, Wendy's yin and yang strangeness is not facing Wang Daoyi.
I saw Wen Di look at Zhong Li, and his eyes sank slightly: "It should be said that I hid so well, or some people ignore the wind ..."
"Oh ... Every time the Sea Lantern Festival, Liyue Port is full of people." Zhong Li laughed twice and hugged his hands. "Everyone is busy enjoying the lamp and shopping. ah."
Wang Daoyi and Ho Tao looked at each other inexplicably. Come, come, come, this familiar feeling, Zhong Li is about to rise.
Sure enough, he heard Zhong Li's continued saying:
"Right now, the celebration is progressing smoothly, and the old friends of Xinpeng meet are a beautiful thing worth celebrating. It is really impressive to gather with you at the beginning of the New Year."
Speaking, Zhong Li stood up and mentioned the tea cup in front of me: "In this situation, please allow me to replace wine with tea and respect everyone."
Wang Dao's excitement looked at 魈.
There are countless saint who descended the demon and except the magic. At this time, his face was panicked, his expression was nervous, and it was quite interesting.
It was the Ying around him, shook his head slightly, and motioned for him not to be nervous, so that he kept his heart down slightly.
"Mr. Zhong Li said well! After I finished everything I want to say! Speaking of this, I was a little embarrassed. I suddenly broke into the party and didn't add much trouble to everyone?" Wen Di picked it up. The stubble, let the sigh of relief, and then saw Wendy also mentioned the tea cup. "In Monde, we all drink at this time, but Mr. Zhong Li insisted on drinking tea, then I also used tea to respect everyone a cup. ! Thank you for waiting! "
日: Today is my suffering day.
He looked up at Wang Daoyi, and saw Wang Dao's smile full of smiles. Obviously, the guy was always laughing.
Seeing that , looked at himself, Wang Dao rubbed his hair, and then nodded towards 魈.
Although I have been laughing, I have no teasing you.
When Wang Daoyi and 魈 looked at each other, the master of Hu Tang also stood up: "You're polite! The master of this hall is east, everyone eats and drinks well, and the new year will be ascended! The reason for only tea is that everyone may have activities after the meal. .”
一 Looking back at Wang Daoyi's gaze, he looked at the two of the tea, and couldn't help sighing slightly.
Finally, I still can't stand it: "Well."
”:" What's the matter? "
"Are you full, do you want to go out?" Ying invited.
I breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes."
At the main position, Ho Tao also nodded: "Is the two ate well? Go out and breathe, and it is good to consume food."
"Then I too ..." Pai Meng hurriedly wanted to keep up with Ying.
Ying shook his head at Pai Meng: "Let's continue eating, we will come back soon."
Pai Meng rubbed his hand: "Then you must come back."
Ying and Yan went out together, and everyone ended the toasting link and began to chat with each other.
Zhong Li and Wen Di are naturally together.
Zhong Li: "This new friend, it sounds like wine."
Wen Di: "Wherever, I can only drink a lively, not to be more particular about Mr. Zhong Li. Fortunately, drink tea this time, otherwise in case my drinking is not drunk and talks, wouldn't it want to let you just know what you just knew, Mr. Zhong Li read the joke? "
Zhong Li: "Dare not dare. You are the guests invited by Hu Tang, how dare I laugh at you?"
The two old things were at each other, as if friends met, and seemed to be fighting immediately.
Ho Tao was together with Xiang Ling and asked what everyone was talking about before dinner.
Chongyun and Xingqiu talked about the "Teacher Pillow Yu". Xingqiu's expression was not normal, but Chongyun didn't find it.
Only Wang Daoyi, there seems to be nothing to talk about, always holding Cang to play.
Time passed a little bit, the door of the private room was opened, it was the second primary school.
"Lord Hu Tang, can your call after meals be available?" The Xia Er asked.
Noda nodded: "Let's go."
So the shop started to go to the refreshment.
"Woohoo, why don't you come back yet?" Pai Meng was tangled while eating. It seemed that his appetite was bad.
Xiang Ling rubbed the head of Pai Meng: "It happened that I had something to find Dasheng, I went out to find them."
Pai Meng: "Really? Xiang Ling, you are so nice."
Wang Daoyi: "Do you want me to accompany you?"
Xiang Ling shook his head: "No need, just a little thing."
Speaking, I mentioned the gift box and out of the private room.
Xiang Ling made almond tofu for her. Although she did not say, how could she hide Wang Daoyi.
After all, Guoba also secretly helped Xiang Ling, and the taste of almond tofu was unique. Wang Dao didn't know if it was difficult.
Of course, it is not only available. Xiang Ling has made several copies, and everyone else has it.
Soon, but after a few minutes of out, Xiang Ling returned with Yinghe.
Pai Meng flew to Ying's body quickly: "Ah, ah, you can finish the whisper, don't you come back soon, huh!"
Ying Ying's hand forks: "It's fast, Pai Meng's concept of time is wrong."
Seeing Ying not admitting wrong, I also threw the pot to myself, and Pai Meng was angry: "You, your guy, say so!"
Then ... Hua sadness is appetite: "Then I not only let you know what the concept of time is wrong, but also let you know what the concept of food is wrong!"
Pai Meng's hands on your waist, his head holding his chest: "Your snacks, returned to me!"
Unfortunately, whether it is Ying or 魈, they do not care about the things that seize the snacks.
"Sorry, wait for a long time." I took a step forward, and I didn't know what Ying said to him, but it can be seen that he now looks natural.
Ho Tao smiled: "Don't tighten, it's all about chatting left and right, nothing is right. You are talking outside, we are talking in the room, it's not the same."
Ying smiled, glanced at Pai Meng: "The master of the church is tolerant, Pai Meng learns something."
Pai Meng turned his head and didn't look at Ying: "Huh, busy eating, ignore you."
Seeing that everyone is in Qi, the Lord Mei Hua's eyes flashed slightly, and there is an idea: "But although they are all acquaintances, they have to make a sense of rituals in the holidays."
Wendy is very popular: "Oh? Is there any custom habit?"
Ho Tao's head: "No!"
Wendy's look was stagnant.
Then I heard Ho Tao said: "But in order to ask for a good head, the master of this church has been compiled! Choosing things is worse than hitting things, so use this incense stove on the table."
Everyone looked in the direction of the walnut finger. A fragrant furnace was fragrant, and a strand of incense floated from the incense burner, with a trace of elegance and indifference.
"After burning for so long, the spices inside were almost burned out, so let the most distinguished guests here continue to ignite for everyone." Ho Tao continued, "It means endless, I wish you a new life, I wish you a new one. The year is booming, the sun is new! "
Wendy continued to play: "So, kindness, it is indeed the owner of Hu Tang!"
Then he held his chin in one hand and said, "So the guest who is the most distinguished in present ... must be the king of the king."
Xingqiu and Chongyun nodded. Wang Daoyi's identity was open. As the master of Chisha, he said that he was the most distinguished guest here.
Seeing the show halfway, the fire burned to himself, Wang Dao shook his head quickly: "The identity of the master of Akashi, that's in Xuya, here is Liyue, Xiang Ling and I have a big wedding. Zhong Likeqing is my elder, the most noble person, is Zhong Li Keqing. "
Wang Dao did not hesitate to throw the pot to Zhong Li.
Zhong Li glanced at Wang Dao one by one, and then shook his head: "As a guest of life, how can I live in front of the lord, and I still have to let Hu Tangzhu come."
Ho Tao also waved his hand: "I said that I want to let the noble guests come. How can I be the east? Since I ate a good table, it is better to let the only chef Xiang Ling here be better. "
Xiang Ling was startled: "Hey, is this that calculated? But this meal was not made by me!"
Ho Tao shook his head: "It doesn't matter, you think about it, the wife of Xiang Ling, the master of Chisha, the disciple of the immortal, the furnace of the furnace of the furnace, the festival of the king of the king of the king of the king of the king. Inheritance, one of the old friends of this church, isn't it enough? "
On the side, Pai Meng looked strange: "How do you feel that the name is getting back, the more you go back."
Generally speaking, the names are small in front, the big one is behind, and the step by step can give people a kind of feeling, 'oh, powerful'.
But this set of Lord Hu Tang is obviously upside down.
Xiang Ling hurriedly waved his hand: "Stop, stop, I am embarrassed! And, just now, a brother said, Zhong Like Qing is an elder, we can't look for it. I think ..."
Xiang Ling looked around for a week and put her eyes on Xingqiu: "Then ... if that is that, is it one of the largest chamber of Chamber of Commerce in Liyue Port -the second master of the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce's house is not noble?"
Noda nodded: "There is a young master of the Chamber of Commerce, everyone makes a lot of money in the New Year."
Xingqiu did not expect to eat melon and eat it, and quickly shoved: "Isn't this reason? And although it is good to get rich, it is better to be healthy, and Ping An and joy are important."
To put it, Xingqiu showed a stern smile: "Therefore, Chong Yun Fang Shi, who is good at exorcism and protect everyone's house."
"Ah? What about me?" Chong Yun quickly refused, "There is a big sanctuary, why can't I turn me? On the same division, only lying on the fairy in the fairy, then the fixed ..."
He hugged his chest with both hands and shook his head: "I'm by no means the most noble person here."
Turning up, I looked at the 魈, and looked at Zhong Li again,
'I won't want to choose a bell away. '
Ying thought secretly in his heart.
Then I heard that I continued: "With your eyesight, you can distinguish it clearly. There is a person who is familiar with everyone here."
Ying has a bad hunch.
Pai Meng's eyes brightened: "Ah, yes! Although your guy always hurts me, it is really popular, and you know everyone!"
Having said that, Pai Meng suddenly remembered something, a small face, turned around: "No! I just said, ignore you ..."
Seeing Pai Meng's movements, Yingyanzhu turned around and took care of his heart: "Such people, more than me."
Pai Meng was attracted and turned around: "Ah, is there any more?"
Ying smiled and looked at Pai Meng: "Pai Meng, go to look in the mirror."
"Well? Hey ~!" Pai Meng opened his eyes with a trace of confusion, "Do you mean, am I the most distinguished guest here? This is a sudden, hey hey ..."
To put it, the inconceity on Pai Meng's face became embarrassed.
Wendy: "I agree, this person is good. If there is no partner who insisted on accompanied, a long journey will become an endless lone trip. Once there are friends who talk and laugh, all the scenery will become more. Colorful. "
Wang Dao also nodded: "Pai Meng is the best partner of Ying. There is Pai Meng, so that the journey of Ying will be so smooth."
Zhong Li: "Tour the country and leave many wonderful deeds. But if there is no Pai Meng, these stories will be a lot monotonous.
The three gods said that, and the sorry on Pai Meng's face faded away,
"Oh my God, I was suddenly praised, I was used to it," and then confirmed again, "That, everyone is sincere ..."
Ying smiled: "Of course. Pai Meng, the best partner!"
Pai Meng's face was excited: "Thank you! Although you just let me wait for a long time, I will not be angry with you!"
Everyone also agreed to the choice of Ying, Pai Meng, the most noble person present.
As a visitor, Ho Tao began to preach: "Next, the best partners, guides, and close friends of the world's worst and righteousness, Pai Meng, to re -order the incense for everyone!"
Everyone gave her face and applauded.
Ho Tao took a fragrant and matches: "Come, come, Pai Meng, the match is done, don't burn it."
[In the warm admiration and applause of everyone, Pai Meng was dizzy and became incense ...]
[Next, everyone pushed the abdomen, drink tea and chat freely until the night was deeper. 】
[Tea is full, and the feast is ended. It is time to do something else. 】
Xinyuexuan's door.
Everyone gathers here,
Ho Tao looked at the sky: "It's late, it's late, it's not good to delay everyone's time, so let's go."
Everyone: "The meals and snacks are delicious. Thank you for your main money."
Ho Tao also nodded: "I sent Qiu and Chongyun and Xiang Ling, and Dao returned. As for the rest, I was given to Ke Qing."
Wendy quickly waved his hand: "No need to go, I will go to the sea next, and see the friends on the boat, so I will not worry about the driving away from Mr. Zhong."
Ho Tao didn't care: "Well, okay, let's take a step first, oh yes, Ke Qing, I will go back to the hall later, I have something to find you."
Zhong Li: "Okay."
Wang Dao glanced at Zhong Li and Ying, and didn't say much, and he left with Hu Tang.
He knew that Zhong Li must have something to say to Ying Heyi later, but it was nothing to do with Wang Daoyi.
Although I don't know what I will say, it is just what happened this year.
Although Wang Daoyi has not participated, it can still be understood.
Li Yun borrows the wind, Ge Chenlang City, Hargen Tuus, God and Fairy, God and Man, Man and Fairy, are nothing more than that.
Wang Daoyi felt that everything was in his own grasp,
until……
In the early morning of the next day, after Wang Dao's bed together, he saw Zhong Li in the kitchen of Wan Mintang.
"Emperor ... Mr. Zhong Li, why are you here?"
"Oh, it is a new task arranged by the lord. Wanmin Hall is reopened and the business is busy. You and Xiang Ling are trapped by the business in the shop during the festival. So that you can get some idle with Xiang Ling. "
Wang Daoyi:......
Zhong Li surrounded his hands: "But after I found out that there was an old friend who could do it, I didn't seem to help any busy ..."
The pot is on the side, and the excitement is particularly excited: "噜 咧 ~ (happy ~)"
Zhong Li is also a happy look: "Looking at the old friend to move the vegetables, it is very happy. Otherwise ... go to Li Yun to use Feng Zhenjun's" Cooking God Machine "?"
"!" Guoba waved her hand quickly.
Zhong Li: "Oh, can't let go."
…
With Zhong Li accompanied, Guoba was very happy, and the business in the store was gradually busy.
However, Xiang Ling had a spare time and had a pleasant holiday with Wang Dao.
The plot is a bit long.
